If this output really comes from "PyObject_CallMethod", then
some passed in argument is likely "null" - maybe "myclass"?

The Python-C interface is complicated. It might be advicible to
use e.g. "cython" to get the boilder plate code and some intricacies
taken care of. I have done this with "dm.xmlsec.binding". You
can find in its source also an example for the callback defined
in Python and called from "C".
